its gonna sound crazy but... practice.

i made toy apps and widgets. chrome extensions. took on a bit of client work.

read some books.

stay up all night and hack on projects for a few years while people are sleeping and youll get some where.

never had a sideporject or 'startup' that actually made money, but thye taught me the skills i have now that are paying the bills, and i pretty much have my pick of jobs at this point.

but also suffer from extreme impostor syndrome and try and use that to fill my (perceived) gaps
